OUR BAND.

The music of our First Regiment band
was more highly appreciated at the Ben
nington muster than ever before, both IN
the regular camp duty and in their nightly
concerts, when the enthusiasm was bound
less. As the band left the camp TO take
the train for home loud cheers were given
for the organization The following clip
pings from the Troy Daily Press while
perhaps "A trhe strong in their manner OF
expression seem TO voice a common senti-
ment. Their correspondent says, Aug. l3;
The brigade band, Brattleboro Military
band, is excellent. 1t played En- Reven
ant de la Revue and other selections ad-
mirably at the parade and later IN the even
ing gave a brilliant concert. On the 10Th
he also said The brigade band, Brattle-
boro Military band, leader Leitsinger, Is
one of the best bands in the country. The
number of pieces considered, 1t Is good as
Gilmore's, for the pieces canpot be played
better. They gave another concert last
evening in front of their quarters, playing
several choice selections, and won much
applause from the large audience that gath
cred to hear them. At 8 O'Clock in the
evening the band serenaded the Governor
mt Mai. Valentines"
On the return of the band Wednesday
evening the open air concert was given as
announced last week. Owing to some mis-
understanding the temporary stand which
was To have been erected at High-st. corner
was not in place and the concert was given
from Col. lockers lawn. The band was
at their best and the numbers were never
more admirably rendered 1t is to be re
GREETED that so many listeners, even short
distance away, should lose some of the best
effects owing to the lack of Il proper place
to play. The eighth concert of the sum
mer series will be given on the eommoI
next Tuesday evening and will consist o.
popular selections.
